(this month we are trying Amox 3x day for a month to see if it helps since he was sick 2 out of 30 days in April)
That was meant to say 25 days

So, I am in my PJ's outside talking with this man and his crew since I was cleaning and just about to take a shower....

None of my reasons were valid. I could see right away I was talking to a man who expected to get what he wanted. Hence the reason he was doing his own rag tag painting business. It was his way only. At first I thought he was asking such detail about the window sealing so he could do it for us.... No, he was adament on proving me wrong and I would have to do things his way... whcih was today, without window sealing, and get this.... the entire house! I politely explained my goal of residing in 2-3 years. And then he states... "look at this, look at this the whole house needs paiting". Your mother stated that if I started the front you would agree to the whole house! What!! So my mother lied to me and him. (par for the course)

So I politely explained to him I am so sorry but my mother has lied to both you and myself. I only consented to the front of the house. Not good enough for him. He will paint this entire house and he will start to day is what he wants....
He demanded my reasoning for why I was not going to do the entire house, and why I was wrong on this.

Basically everything I stated was spewed back at me as to how wrong I was and how right he was and I needed to agree with him.

OK....

So I finally stated. (I mean debating is pointless right?, why do it) I was done being polite. "Listen, enough, I am not changing my mind when I have a plan I am very OCD about it and I will not deviate from it. You can paint the front of the house on Monday and that is it. End of discussion." (putting my foot down)

Well, painter man angry at not getting HIS way went off. I mean totally beserker. He crew was embarrassed and trying to stop him. He was perseverating on OCD. "OCD, do you know OCD, Do YOU know OCD?" Starts giving me definitions of OCD and you are not OCD, etc. All while he wife/girlfriend whatever is trying to talk him down.

And he is not going to paint just the front of the house not worth his time. Blah, blah, blah...

So I stated let me take your name and number and I will call you and figure things out since my son is waiting for me inside. Today is not an option.

So I grab a piece of paper and pencil and has for his name... "Jeff"... last name please "Corbit" so I write this down.
Him, very nasty, "you wrote my name down wrong, write it correctly"...Me, "Sure, tell it to me" (realizing I am dealing with so one who is totally nuts). So I rewrite it the corrected spelling as told to me and state with a little barb, "I'll remember it forever now."

Then, then, this man has the nasty crazy@ss balls to say really, really nasty, in a very authoritative tone.............. "now cross out the incorrect spelling."


To which I turned to him and his whole crew and stated, no, yelled it...... "Get the mother-f@ck out of my driveway now and do not ever come back again" "What the f@ck is wrong with you harrassing me....blah, blah, blah"

I know I curse on the boards here but I never curse in real life that often. Very rarely. But today I let the F-bomb's fly b/c man this man was incredible. I mean he was nasty and demanding from the get got and I was so damn polite. I mean I was saying stuff like I respect your eagerness to work and feel so bad about not being able to agree to today, etc. I was the absolute kindest person possible.


He is cursing, I am cursing, I tell him I am going to call the police if he does not leave right now. I walk in the house and lock my door and wait for them to leave and am adament I was calling the police if I don't see them moving fast enough.

So the saga does not even end there but I have to feed my son.


Next chapter... the phone call I receive from them.....oh boy!
